AMAZING Their FATE

The Doom of tiiG Anarchists Said to Have
Been Sealed-The Opinfor &ss tire Illinois
Supreme Court to BE Filed at UttaRsay
Ill., Next Tuesday - Belief That the
Death Sentence Will Stand.
CAIcIG6, Aus S1.-Tbe Herald of this
morning saws: sefle seven condemned An
arohists are to hang. There is no longer
am doubt about that. Information has been
received thr5aSh reliable sources that the
Supreme Court will atfifm the death verdict
against the Anarchists wnea theS meet
a. Ottawa next Monday The opinion in
the case will then be filed by the Justice who
made 1t, and it will receive the signature of
all tie other Justices, who. it would appear,
are fully ACQUAINTED with it's contents.
No Justice of the Supreme Court has
given out this intelligence directly;
all of them, in fact, refuse to talk
about the decision, but to friend who re-
Gently asked him abCr,t the other case,
Justice Magruder guardedly saiai There
will be no dissenting opinion, because the
Justices are all of one mind 1t is known
that justiee Magruder entertains
very decided opinion about the merits of
the ease; which was not favorable
to the slams of the Anarchists, and his
friends think that il the opinion which will
befiled Tuesday was for reversing the ver-
dict of the jury, that he would undoubtedly
write a dissenting opinion"
GHfckGo, Aug. 31-The near approach of
the session of the Supreme Court at Ottawa,
ILL.,; to convene September 8, contributes to
intensity pttblie interest III the famous An
archist case The group" of condemned
men in the jail is again assuming promi-
nencein the public eye which stlrpasses the
curiosity indulged in about the "boodlefs."
Bad as is the plight of those eX-honorable
gentlemen, Yet the shadow of the scaffold is
deeper than that Of the penitentiary and the
realization that bit few days may elapse
before the Suprer1e Court shall be called
upon to announce tie final decision
in the Anarchist case naturally Height
ems the suspense felt by the Anarcl-
lists, their relatives and friends, The men
afe constantly visited by their wives and
children, and clothes and delieacies brought
to them. All seem self-possessed and even
eonfdent-Spies Parsons and Fielden par
ticiilafI3 SO. They look healthy.
1t is given 0tit that the decision on the aps
peal in the Anarchist cases will be one of
the first matters attended to at the session
of the Supreme Court which will commeI1c5
one week from yesterday. 1t is also an
bounced that the sheriff and the mayor are
to be given the first information as to what
is the decision of the court Should it be
.unfavorable to the prisoners very stringent
measures will DE taken to Illustrate any
scheme OF attempt at escape. sI ...
Attorneys for the Anarchists insist that,
even should the decision of the Supreme
Cotift affirm the Judgment of the court be-
low, they have good grounds upon which
an appeal to the Supreme Court of the
United States can be taken. The pr0post~
tion is just as positively negatived by emf
nent lawyers. ....
Little is expected from an appeal to Gov
ernor Og1esby should the Supreme Court de-
eision be adverse to the condemned men,
but in that event the "defense committee"
will at once close its work, and monster
petition containing thousands of names
from every State iii the Union will be pre-
sented to the Executive
